Bread making:

Ingredients:

3 cups of all purpose or bread flour, aerate flour

1/4 teaspoon yeast, active dry or instant

1 teaspoon salt

1 ½ cups hot water, not boiling, tap water

(about 2 tablespoons extra flour for shaping)

Instructions:

1) Combine flour, yeast and salt in a large bowl. Stir in water until it is well combined.

2) Cover with plastic wrap and let stand at room temperature for 3 hours.

3) After 3 hours dough will become puffy and dotted with bubbles.

    Transfer to a well-floured surface and sprinkle dough with a little flour.

    Using a scraper fold dough over 10-12 times & shape into a rough ball.

4) Place dough in a greased bread-pan and bake 50-60 minutes at 400 F.
